How would you approach NIL and women's sports?

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I'm wondering what the effects of the NIL, the portal, and the expanded playoffs will make for college football, which is the big money maker.

I still believe the NL will take a few more seasons to show the difference it makes to the game because it will make the rich richer.

I hope that the NIL will help the women's sports world by generating an infusion of money for the players. But in the long run, I think it will also make the rich richer.

Well, MSU is screwed for sure, in that case**********

When you contribute you can also designate what sport it goes to.

Investing in women’s sports in lieu of Men’s Basketball makes zero sense

The same can be said in investing in baseball over Men’s Basketball.

Maybe in basketball. But not the others women's sports. What would you guess the total NIL allocation is to womens sports?

I am just the opposite. For the price of a decent role player in football, you could field a good women's golf team and that attracts people too.

Exactly.

Spend smarter.

Sometimes following the trend is smart.

And sometimes it ain’t.

You're pretty much correct. I will add that I think it's gonna be a year or two before all of these changes shake out and we see the final effect on all college sports

The only way I would say spend everything on a particular sport over any other is if they have a shot to win a title.

It's all relative, how much do we have? How much will it take to good in a sport. I mean really good. A couple ringers on a women's team could make a huge difference at basketball or golf but you need at least 50% of your roster in Football to be blue chippers and the Ga & Bama have 65-70 high 4's and 5's and they don't come cheap. The leap from what we are spending now in football to get 10-15 5 stars and 30 to 40 mid to high 4 stars is off the charts. It's not that big a jump to get competitive in other sports.

You bring me a title, OK, we can go all in, otherwise nope. I prefer being better at everything than being 6th in SEC rather than 8th or even 10th with two or three other sports competing as well.

It's a women's sport. I'd tell women to donate to women's sports. I wonder how much they'd raise.

Softball and soccer dads would likely give. I bet most women, especially female students, wouldn't. Sports don't matter as much.

Let's use it in an example of a player like Victoria Vivans. She's hypothetically getting offered 250K to transfer to another SEC school. Or we could go spend 250K on a men's player - Cam Matthews type.

What would you do as the person responsible for distribution of NIL funds?

MSU marketing is still envious about this…

Yikes, that was so bad I got sucked into watching the whole thing. They were so in to it they even included a solo.
